I have, tucked away somewhere, a little "piece o' junk" - a Jennings J-22. Compared to this little bit, Kel-Tecs are practically on a level with Kimbers.

At one point, I was practiced enough with this little Saturday Night Special that I could put five rounds in three seconds into a space I can cover with my hand at 7 yards, with no jams or malfunctions. Using the same ammunition, same magazines, other folks had 2 rounds jam out of three, and two-foot shot patterns, instead of groupings. It was reliable for me, not for them.

I'm not that practiced now, but given time and sufficient ammo, I could become proficient with that little pistol again.

I'd not worry about a Kel-Tec's reliability, unless it -really- stank. I just don't want one, mainly because I prefer heavier pistols for recoil management.

(I carry a Kimber, btw. There's just something about .45 ACP... )
